Katy Marshall: Rising Up to the C-Suite
One of the most transformative steps Katy Marshall took in her leadership career was hiring an executive coach six years ago.
At the time, Katy was feeling fried and wasn’t getting what she needed out of her team. The bold first step her coach suggested? Gathering “360-degree feedback” from ALL angles: managers, peers, and direct reports. The impact and learnings were eye-opening and invaluable.
Katy’s career journey has landed her a variety of roles, including coveted C-Suite positions. Now the COO of Thesis, she takes us through her fascinating story from management consulting at BCG to making MAJOR moves at startups and transitioning from CMO to COO.
I’m so excited for Katy to be our guest today, even more so because we worked at a startup together previously. She has so much wisdom to share, and this episode is a must-listen if you’re a mid-career professional aiming for the C-Suite, or navigating a major career transition.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- How management consulting at BCG shaped Katy’s versatile skill set and opened doors to her future roles at startups and major companies
- How to maintain and leverage career-long relationships for mutual learning and career progression, and following the people interested in your growth and development
- Insights on Katy's transition from CMO to COO, including the skills and strategic thinking involved
- The indispensable role of executive coaching, feedback audits, and structured problem-solving in Katy’s journey to being a more effective leader
- Creating structure around ambiguity and being open, comfortable, and proactive when it comes to receiving feedback
